Linked from

The 17 pages that link to Whole-genome sequencing, each with the reason it gives.

• Antibiotic resistanceRelated: Sequencing can identify resistance genes and track resistant bacterial outbreaks.

• DNA sequencingCompared with: Its genome-wide scope contrasts with targeted sequencing of selected regions.

• Newborn screeningRelated: Its potential use at birth raises questions about which findings should be sought and disclosed.

• Genome-wide association studyCompared with: Sequencing is a way to measure genetic variation, not an association study design.

• 16S ribosomal RNACompared with: It can provide finer taxonomic and functional detail than a single marker gene.

• Bacterial taxonomyRelated: Genome-wide comparisons provide far more evidence for classification than a single genetic marker.

• Comparative genomicsRelated: Whole-genome data made large-scale cross-species comparison practical.

• Next-generation sequencingBroader topic: It uses high-throughput reads to survey coding and noncoding regions together.

• Chromosomal microarrayCompared with: Sequencing can detect sequence-level variants and some structural changes beyond microarray’s principal copy-number focus.

• Rare diseaseRelated: It can detect rare-disease variants outside protein-coding regions.

• Salmonella entericaRelated: Comparing bacterial genomes helps distinguish related cases and trace transmission sources.

• Sanger sequencingRelated: Sanger's throughput limits made it less practical for modern whole-genome projects.

• Molecular epidemiologyRelated: Comparing pathogen genomes can distinguish closely related infections and trace outbreaks.

• SalmonellosisRelated: Public-health laboratories use it to link Salmonella cases and identify outbreak sources.

• Stool cultureRelated: Sequencing cultured isolates can compare strains and investigate transmission.

• PalaeognathaeRelated: Genome-scale comparisons have revised inferred relationships among living palaeognath groups.

• Bacterial phylumRelated: Genome-wide comparisons can test and revise relationships inferred from individual genes.
